Now I love the single player campaign of GRAW. Completed it on normal difficulty and currently playing through on Hard. I also love it online...... When you can actually play!

Few things I hate:

1. Finding a game takes ages. When you do, you're sat in the lobby, the games 2 minutes in with 30 minutes to play. So you decide to wait then...

2. Just about to join and you get disconnected! Or you start the game and within a minute you then get disconnected!

3. If you decide the leave the lobby because you don't want to wait, it then takes an age to search for a game, bring up the list and then join.

And don't mention about my Router/Connection etc. I can quite happily play hours of PDZ and PGR3 without a single hiccup.

Its utterly frustrating because when I find stable game, I love it!

Anyone else experiencing the same problems?
 
thats really odd i have found it to be flawless online :confused: which is a bit strange

i have played a fair few games and have had no issues with disconnection
 
Oblivion has quickly taken up my time since GRAW arrived but yes I do agree with you regarding the disconnections.

When it first game out I had a blast playing alongside the ocuk'ers and it really is CS for the 360 - disconnections and dropouts ruined it totally. Just when you think you've got a perfect server going with the right players, and you have a nice fun chatty atmosphere, then someone drops out. Totally ruins it.

Seems common too, dropouts I mean. They're happening in more then one game half the time.
 
Totally agree with Guru on this. Worst designed lobby system ever, and regular disconnects

Pretty good when you actually get into a game, but I lost patience and am now having much more fun with far cry online, which is a blast as you dont need to wait for games to start etc, just jump straight in.

Not played it but apparantly Ghost Recon 2 on the XBOX 1 has exactly the same lobby system! Sorry, but have Ubisoft missed something? This is a "Next Generation" console and game. I expect to be joing games faster and far more easier.
 
I have just started playing this and have a few questions that I could do with answering, I dont want to hijack the thread though.

Does anyone know what the number next to your class means when you are in the lobby? I am at the moment ranked Lance Corporal, does anyone have a breakdown of the available ranks and what you need to do to improve.

Sorry to ask such basic questions but I cannot seem to find anything in the manual or online that explains this.

As for the experience of playing GRAW online, I havent had a problem. I love playing co-op, got 254 kills in one match earlier this evening :)

Thanks
 
Yes the re-search after you have missed the game start is mighty annoying. But ive found to host and play with friends makes that much simplier.

Also one of my firends has the router problem where sometimes he can play against others in our friends list, sometimes he cant.

But most annoying of all I found on the co-op maps people dont listen they become obbsessed by kills and die in 2 minutes. 4 players can ace all the co-ops in minutes if they would wait 5 seconds.
 
I think one of the problems (apart from shoddy net code) is people trying to host too many people on a connection that simply can't cope. Inevitably people get disconnected.

I joined a game that had a max of 8 people and it was great without a single hiccup.
 
Yep, I agree, sometimes it takes me nearly half an hour to find an online game, it's even harder when there's more than one of you too.
 
Hopefully this will get fixed in an update, as I had the same problems with CoD2 a couple months back, then as soon as they updated the lobby system its been awesome, absolutely no disconnects and fast game joins.

;)
 
Yep...must agree. The lobby system in GRAW is torture. Once you're actually in a game it's great but trying to get 4 people together into one game is a major military operation in itself.

If there's 4 of you, just host your own game?

I found it so hard to actually find a game. I got kicked from one game after trying for 20 minutes to join one. I got kicked in the lobby for being a "Scouse Everton fan". Racists!

Thing that annoyed me most was the amount of "Rock Watching", was too slow paced for me. Good game though.
 
Only reason I've kept hold of this was to try and do the online campaign but that doesn't appear to be happening. Will probably trade this in this week.

I have to agree with the frustration of the disconnects, very annoying :(

For what reason?

I did all 3 i think in one session and the next one the following day.
 
I hate the lobby sytem to once in a game its great and really enjoyable, lets hope it doesn't take the same time it took the devs to patch cod.
 
Can't stand the lobby system invact I can't stand graw mp too many campers camping spawn. Will not have anything to do with it now, its going on ebay.
